the plan of securing more uniform rates
throughout the Northwest. 1t
was stated that Minnesota, Da-

paving the highest rate. A national
classification was needed very badly,
and while the commission had decided
not touch upon this question, the
speaker thought it might be done if
united pressure was brought to bear.

that the petition for this abolition had
been signed by the New York board of

New York, and others. The petition was

AMONG THE VETERANS.
A Walk Around Camp McGiIl,
Where Old Soldiers Dwell.

The G. A. r. men are now on hand in
folce, and Camp McGill is beginning to
assume formidable proportions. Situa-
ted as it is on slight elevation, just
south of the depot and main buildings, it
commands line view of the whole
grounds. The camp is laid out with
streets and alleys, and has already over
800 tents in position. The tents are in
tended to hold twelve men each, and
from present indications they are to be
crowded to their utmost capacity. Hotel
McGill is now about finished. 1t is a
wooden structure, 50XlGO feet, and can
feed 800 men at one time. The adYan-
tage Of this is that here the old veterans
can get good substantial meals for 50
cents per day or 25 cents a single meal,
thus bringing the cost within the means
of all who care to take part.
A large force OF men were working
like beavers until midnight last night
and by this afternoon the camp will be
quite city-like in appearance. The prin-
cipai streets are McGill, Turner, Ruger
and Plummer avenue. OF these Nc
Gill avenue runs from the headquarters
toward the main building. Plummer
and Ruger avenues are parallel
to McGill avenue, while Turner avenue
is q cross street from the hotel westward
toward the main entrance. The four
avenues running from north to south
are fifty feet wide, with the tent S
ranged in double rows on both sides.
These tents are the regulation 12Xl6
size, and accommodate twelve men each.
a large tent, circular in form, with
diameter 760 feet, will be put up this
morning to be used for reunion pur-
poses.
Representatives of several Iowa. Da-
kOta and Minnesota posts arrived yes
terday and occupied the tents for the
first time last night. The first meal was
served last evening in the hotel, and, if
it is a fair sample of the fare to be
given, the old veterans are sure to be
well fed, at least. The wholesale deal
ers of Minneapolis are entitled to the
thanks of the public in general for their
liberality in donating over 5000 worth of
provisions to the hotel. This is finely
decorated with spruces, flags and pict-
ureS.
The man who wanted to get real
old-style cup of coffee, such as was COM
mon twenty years ago, should go down
to Camp McGill and call for Comrade
Bailey, of Plummer post, the head
steward, and taste the delicious bever-
age prepared by him. why" said an
old soldier last evening, "a man can
live and grow fat Oh such coffee as that
without anything more SubStantial.''

He said that it was the competition be-
tween sections, and not freight charges
that made the price.
C. A. Pillsbury was the last man
called at Mr.. Miller's request. and
proved a good witness for the railroads.
He said milling in transit benefited the
producer more than anybody else. The
railroads want to control their shipments
and would not carry so cheaply if local
rates in and out were substituted. AS
for the millers, the margin of profits is
so slight that they could not afford to
pay two locals instead of the transit.
This concluded the testimony. Mr.. Han
son said he did not care to make an ar
gument but would submit brief within
twenty days. Adjournment was taken
to 10 o'clock this morning when the
complaints to be made against the Mil.
waukee road by the boards of trade Cf
Owatonna, NOrthfield and other places
will be listened to.

The judges got to work early in the
afternoon and all day and until late in
the evening the sawdust covered in
closure in the center of the rink was the
point of attraction on the part of large
number of the audience. and dozens of
handlers in their short jackets and
Jockey caps. Some of the dogs get bet
ter treatment than the babies on Summit
avenue. They are brushed and combed
and rubbed with chamois skin until
their glossy hair shines. Then they are
led into the ring and posed for the
Judges eye.
One of the interested visitors in the aft
ernoon was Billy Florence, who happens
to be playing an engagement at the
Grand this week. He is dog fancier
of considerable repute in the East, and
member of prominent kennel club in
New York. He sized up the dogs with
critical eye. He expressed the opin-
ion that the show was the equal of any
ever held in the country. He was eS-

BRAGG AND SCHooNMAKER.
submitted the following explanation of
the manner of conducting the trans
portation Of grain or other raw materia
to be milled or manufactured, in transit.
The supply of grain grown in the
Western states, he said, is largely dis
posed of. either as grain or its products,
in the Eastern states or on tidewater
for export; most of the Western grain
carrying roads terminate at Lake Michi-
gan ports. FIGURING mills are located on
the line of these roads at the most IA
vorable points for obtaining supplies.
Primarily this grain is gathered to
gether at interior points on the grain
carrying roads, from which points to
Lake Michigan ports. rates are made.
Mllers On the line, as for instance,
Minneapolis. desiring this grain to man
ufacture, buy largely at the local points
and have it forwarded to Minneapolis,
paying the rate from the originating
point to the lake port, the carrier agree
ing to forward free from the manu-
featuring point, tonnage of the
products of the grain equal to the grain
so received. The advantage of the sys-
fem to the millerS is that it enables
them to lay down the manufactured
products at Michigan points at price
based on the rates of transportation
from the producing point to the lake
port, and at the same time afford them
a full supply of the raw material. The
advantage accruing to the carrier is they
are enabled to contract the carriage of
raw material or its equivalent from the
point of production to the lake port.

necessary to transfer freight to broad

and st. Paul are large mill
ing centers and distributing points
and materially there are many cOmpet-
ing roads to be met. He then went on
to explain the nature of the competition
offered by the st. Paul & Duluth, Illi-
noiS Central, Diamond 10 line of river
steamers, the Burlington & Northern,
etc. Roswell Miller, general man
ager of the railroad, was sworn
as witness, although his statement
was more in the way of explanation and
opinion concerning the transit in mill
ing rate than direct evidence. He said
he took it for granted that railroad
would be expected to make a living.
Last year there was $l,0O0,0OO surplus,
but improvements costing S1,S00,00
had been made. Mr.. Miller'S
statement did not bring out
m ny important points, and was repe-
tltlon in great measure of the claims
advanced by Mr.. Hanson. He talked
informally and pleasantly with the COM
mission, and at 2 O'Clock an adjourn
ment was taken for dinner.
When the commission reassembled the
proceedings were somewhat livelier. T..

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
President E. II. Warner, president of
the kenneI club, in his address outlined
the history and purposes of the club.
He said:
The st. Paul and Minnesota Kennel club
was organized only a short time since We,
however, feel gratitied with our progress and
with some little pride point to our first efforts
at bench shows. Situated,as we are, ,geograph-
ically outside as it were of old communities,
where people have leisure and means 10
carry out their fancies. We are far behind
older states in the breeding of dogs. Con-
sequently at present our well bred dogs are
few and we must call upon people from a
distance to help us out. We desire to ex-
press our thanks to exhibitors who have
come long way to be with us and we trust
nothing will transpire to mar the harmony
of this meeting, and that our friends
from abroad will go home with
only the kindliest feelings toward us.
The success of our enterprise is largely due
to the energetic supervision of our secretary,
Mr. Whitehead, and the untiring efforts of
our treasurer, Mr.. Drake
There may have been bench shows abroad
where the number of entrees were larger but
we can safely say that none have surpassed
ours in variety and fine breeding.
